Muse Restaurant & Wine Bar

Fodor's Review

Set in a pale yellow building on Society Street, Muse lays bare Mediterranean stylings in sophisticated, relaxed quarters. The bar functions as a drawing room, permitting easy introductions and closer inspection of the restaurant's impressive, 100-plus-bottle wine list. The restaurant serves standout versions of classic fine dining fare like lamb osso bucco and lobster risotto, as well as its signature dish: a delicious, scarcely fried sea bass, served with head and tail intact, over a ragu of butterbeans and pancetta.
